Queen Elizabeth Hospitalized

The sovereign of the UK and of all of the British Empire (what is left of it) has been hospitalized with gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis is a disease symptomized by shitting and pukeing. Not a pretty sight, but it does not spare even royalty.

She got the shits.

I lost half a stone at the beginning of Feb due to something similar.

She's an octogenarian, and she needs some geriatric care. I've seen how it affect the elderly, and despite her being a royal, she is nevertheless fairly robust for someone who is older than my late mum.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Hospitalized

God save the Queen and God bless her. Before anyone flames, consider that she has carried out a duty for over 60 years; a job she never wanted and watched kill her father. And she has done so without so much as a hint of bitterness or resentment. Perfect? No. She's human. But with quiet dignity she carries out HUNDREDS of official engagements throughout the year and does so with grace and aplomb. And for the record, Prince Charles doesn't even WANT the bloody job. I know its a life I wouldn't want. But it's the idea of service above self that keeps her going; something we all can learn from.

She missed a trip to Rome.Gastroenteritis? The real problem was probably her getting sick to her stomach at the thought of running into that idiot Berlusconi that the Italians keep embarassing themselves by reelecting.
